We're looking into using it as a learning experience and something big we (myself and a few others) can do in my (and some of theirs') senior year to learn and leave for the team to use. We have to first get the system up and running, probably building on what the AdamBots did and using a gumstix. Eventually, our goal is for the coprocessor to read and handle sensor inputs, as well as receieve the user inputs from the OI (via the RC), and do all computation and logic. We might end up leaving some sensors connected to the RC if it ends up being easier. We think it will be a great learning experience, but for game use, it will let us run as many sensors as we want, do high-level logic with them, and as much floating point and trig as we need to without worrying about the RC. If you have any comments, ideas, or suggestions, we'll be more than happy to hear them, as the project is still in its very early stages right now.
